I didn't buy flowers this morning
I don't have a smile
I see an old man in the green masses
His hair's white under the sun
This means...
I'm feeling bad!!!

امروز صبح
گل نخریدم
لبخند ندارم
در حجم هایی سبز
پیرمردی را می بینم
که موهایش در خورشید سفید است
...یعنی

UNIVERSAL TRUTH
============================
It might seem strange to you
But I didn't just change
I grew with time
in your best company

your words have a deep vocabulary
and each sentence is a complete story
and you taught me a poem of nature

Everything on Earth is temporary like dew on the Lotus
so I never feel the lust of comfort
but do drop like a dew in a pond to stir the still water of the Pond''

Pregnant Sky
Shady light enslave the world
As mortals seek liberation in the void
Rots of angst hollow in my skull
My extricate goals fail on the podium of time

I am an extricate phenomenon of dismay
Igniting war of starvation as leaves on treetops
The twilight of grass dance swiftly
as my freedom filled the open space of the sky

I am the lost opportunity of future of yesterday
I hardly recall the last day I feed with my family
For sorrow covers my face as a pregnant sky
hoping to give birth to a child without delay

I am a ghost out of a broken coven
Overly speaking words for a new heaven

life lie on meaningless mattress
massage by greed fellow
whose notions to riches is to drain the water that flow
whatever source divine wills' it
life is meaningless
when all secrets you want to acquire end
why live on...for misery and loneliness tears your heart apart
brew of beers you seek solace at
as you dig your grave in a particular position you so desire
lying in your coffin waiting for death to pass by
techniques of greatness smiles at your mind
what is the importance of mastery your craft ?
misery torn one heart in dismay
death wish one whilst to rest his soul
life is a meaningless
journey to tread upon
umami taste of gorse pathways
lead one to unsatisfied pleasure
unhappiness devours one day
as sadness of breath circle one sun
preferring to give your body as a toy to dust

But my eye hadn't ****** organs !!!

همبازی بودم

==========================================================
In the core of my Soul
I live in the placelessness of the place

That is unchangeable,
Unbreakable, unseen and untouched

And I long for your
Endlessly, Eternally, Enduring
Affinity of infinity
Abiding the Tenable,
Durable and deathless
Being the whole part
Of Time and Space

Carefree, everlasting and perpetual youth
In never languishing place less of the place

Like a roamer roaming in the floating shade
Tracing that traceless roots of the rootless

Like migrating bird of passage
Bathing in the melting snowflakes

There my heart and my soul dip in
Streaming symphony of your soul

Awakening in the sleeping night
Forgetting ignorant sleep
Relaxing in your Enlightened lap

در باد می رقصید
با چشمانی درشت به رنگی سیاه

این همه گل های یاسمن را دیده ای !!؟
...از واژن من می رویند

چرا این مردم صدای مرا نمی شنوند!؟

Take my soul
Take my soul as your deserved gift
Enwrap in silver lining of azure light
Take my soul as well my body
For you deserved it, it's a lone gift I can give

For you light the lamp of love as sun
Take my soul and feed it with love
Water it, for it is the plant of your garden
So greenish like blossoming roses

So alluring like white jasmine
Take my soul ring it not
For I am already enslave in you
Body, mind and soul therefore I deserved not a ring

Take my soul fill it with air as cylinder
So I flare and cook palatable dishes of your love
Take my soul embalm it with honey
As I give my body to earth my soul resides in you my love

FABRICS OF TIME
=======================
Your reflection spreads in lake of heart
As soft cotton floats in fragrant breeze
Rejuvenates sky of mind and rock of Soul
Fills the void, vacuums and empty space

Strange white clouds come to become friends
After rain, hope to reach the shy rainbows, and
Fruits grow faster like poems in romantic poet
Sound of koel's kiss heals the past hurts

Somewhere in lonely house of sunny valley
A newly married couple is weaving fabrics of faith
They are of peace as the whole nature is calm
Shaping the skilled expedition of their future ski

To keep their deep lake of life without turbulence
To find the serenity in their celestial destiny and
To do anything to feel alive to oar the boat in storm
Being best rowers of time to push and move in water

''Build your mountain with every thought
Your dearer birth, your parent's had brought

Inspect each and every seed
Sow in soil, free from all weeds

Then stand back 40 miles
To see the farms growing in styles

And see the shape your dream
Dancing ******* discover the life's stream

SOMETHINGS LAST A LIFETIME

I forgot everything and you reminded me again
Will Twice saying.''Very Sorry'', remove all pain

Things that we did together, How did I forget ?
by repeating our vows will make me strong yet !

Few things last and Some things last a lifetime
But love like ours comes just once in a lifetime

But love like ours comes just once in a lifetime
Things that we did together, How did I forger ?

Will twice saying.''Very Sorry'' remove all pain
You do entertain, making me free from complain

Now what can be used to turn both of us to gain
You reminded me everything, God always are plain

Let us pray to be happy and free from all the pain
We will now pluck the flowers, only after the rain

We will now pluck the flowers, only after the rain
Old dirt will be washed and there's no stain remain

Lamentation
Our mothers are as widows
We are strangers in the land of our birth
Our actions incarcerate us as we buy our wood
Our water are being sold to us by foreigners

Our necks are persecuted by the power that be
When we shout to the white sky they preferred it to be dark
We labor without no rest in scornful shame
We are slaves to our brothers that leads us

We are ruled by servants of famine
who worship poverty, corruption and injustice
As their gods, they laud themselves in economic strive
They **** our woman and send our men into creeks and sambisa forests

They took our young men to grind as their thugs during election
And their years ripe with ashes of unemployment under their watch
The joy of our heart has stop and mourning is our drumbeat
Our diversity are plowed by foxes and our land are exploited by greed

Our heart faint in joy of silence
And our eyes are cover with division
our elders indoctrinate us with ethnicity and religion
While they work upon their pocket

Can't you see?
When will you washed your scotoma?
When will you stop my persecution to get enlightenment !
Why will a soul be enlighten and live in prison?

Why will you allowed to be lead as sheep to the slaughter?
Revolt o citizen! world citizen, for your liberation shall be fun as laughter
Drink the words of my lamentations as bread and butter
for your lamentation is soury and bitter

Being (silent/dim) at evenings
from the this mountaintop
Waiting for the singing image of the burning orb
Turned to the pathway of memories.
In a handful of wheat
There's another hand
A trenchant hilt
-like the diving of a hawk into the cloud-
Yeah
This is the way humans are.
Some people
Plant their seeds
in the rivers and the seas
as it doesn't grow,
Getting futilely
fatigued
in this fighting
against the rivers and the seas for years.
Some others, some sullen ones
standing in the rivers and seas
with the seeds in their hands,
They don't plant
The expect of the growth in that
wet trembling fingers turns to an *****.
They have been futilely
fatigued
in a fight against those they see as
spellbound foolish ones for years.
In me but there exists
a clever
depressed taciturn
scientist, knows all that can not
be done as the stone doesn't
know all that can be done.
This way
I know that all the rivers
in the world are fierce and spiteful
They even take away the corpus
of the plants and old trees.
Don't be deceived by their purl.
Giving them wheat ?!!
No
No wheat grains in trembling hands.
A man a knowing one should go
to the alp
Giving the wheat to the cloud.
The cloud
is the calm heavenly water
And it should know about the
melody of the sun
A trenchant sword is ready to harvest.
It comes back home, proud of
knowing with the glory of an
armful wheat
For the children's hand not being
empty of wheat.
The cloud of the grain field is
now a little far away from me
It may be arrived near my home
Surely my wife's arms would
smell as new baked bread when I
come back home.

please forgive me
for the bad translation
his poems have several meanings
and i translate it in my opinion with the help of my teacher
for example the word 'عصر' means: evening , time, era,period.... in our language and i am not sure which one is better here,silent evenings or silent times....and ''خاموش'' means silent, dim... even we can say dim evenings
i do not forgive myself...

TO LET GO
==============
While going you ask me, May I go
Now you tell me, What should I reply?
Seeing you going, I feel as the fire of
My own lamp is burning my home, I'm shocked.

Some may recite a sad song or play on flute
But now my own mind does not belong to body
As your spirit do not own your body, but
Wasting water on a withered plant in backyard

Just think the loneliness of the deserted journey
No partner in another way in the hot sand of weeds
There is no noise, but it is very difficult for the bird to fly
That a sun can hide in the sun in the burning sky

Life is not the same when you see the mirror alone
The veil lifts and you go away with the fast breeze
and the flesh of the young fruits prompt to the breast
Now you do not even support yourself to as water in palm

I know many stories and tales of Laila Majnoo, Heer Raanjha
But, when dude is in the aspect, so, where to find the moon
I wanted to swim with you in an ocean of unlimited abundance
Not swimming in swimming pool, what is kept in river or ponds

Have you thought anything about your better half before going
It seems as you have deprived me of my light.lamp and oil of life

The books of the school to be read,
And painting your smiles blue...
So beautiful have you been,

Not wanting my hair.

Through all of my dresses.
And blue earrings,
Having the sound of my smiles and yours...
And I only remember your teeth.

النگوهای زردم را به تو می دهم

CALLS OF THE WALLS
===============================
I like my old photographs
as compare to the present one''
''I look very young, pretty beautiful, wrinkle-free
in my photograph of 50 years back,
when I was hardly twenty years old,''
That reminds me when spring comes, Every flower blooms

Life is not like photography,
We use the negative to develop.
Photographs capture a moment
That's gone forever, Impossible to reproduce

In my old photographs
I look very young and handsome
I see the books I have read
The music I have heard
The people I have met
And all those I have loved
And above all
There are no bad pictures;
That's just now your face looks sometimes
You don't take a photograph, but you make it.

Many years ago, I am on lap of my young mother
And many came new Making my all memories
Rising on the canvass with my son's wedding
Wishes cling like honey bee in beehive
The joy of embrace, crazy kiss and hug

All old photographs of tears and smile
Moving like movie they all touch me
Like my soul survive the amputated sea of wishes
Merge with roaring ocean to attain something unknown

Drawing delightful senses to know hidden upstairs
Encourage the arrow of hope to bank on goodwill bow
To reach its new target as in my latest photograph on wall
With strong determination of stamina with my grandchildren

I love her
I love her,
Even with excessive make up,
She loves dyeing her face and hair,
She adores me, but
She frequently forgets my name,
Even it is always the same,
While in every color,
Her face and body appear,
I constantly identify her,
Whatever,
Her face and hair
Do violently change,
Her identical rage,
In very attractive body cage;
Only once I thought,
She was my coffee
In the golden cup.
